They serve everything on your table (e.g. this “Cracked Egg” from the Mugaritz restaurant) as if it were a gift that you have to open. It is an innovative, surprising, magical and, of course, very tasty creation. You are not sure what it is, but you will never forget it.

TAKE A COMPASS AND PLACE IT OVER A MAP OF SAN SEBASTIAN. Stick the tip of the compass in the City Hall and draw a radius of 25 kilometres. Do you know how many Michelin stars are there inside that little circle you’ve drawn, which you could cover in about ten minutes in a car? There are 17. Also, of the eleven restaurants with three Michelin stars that there are in the country, three of them are in San Sebastian. Arzak , Akelarre and Martín Berasategui . And as many as four other restaurants also have this distinction: Mugaritz , with two, and Kokotxa , Mirador de Ulia , Zuberoa and Amelia, with one. The Alameda restaurant is in Hondarribia and Elkano is in Getaria, both of which have a Michelin star a little bit further out. This is a remarkable achievement. Indeed, apart from Kyoto in Japan, there’s nowhere else in the world with a higher concentration per square metre. In San Sebastian we’ve turned cooking into a laboratory of ideas and creative workshop that is famous the world over. We have turned gastronomy into form of art, of engineering, a symbol of our identity. But enough talking. Let’s eat.
